A young Cupar athlete has been chosen to represent Britain in Singapore next month.
Andrew Hood is one of only two Scots to form part of Team GB at the first Youth Olympic Games.
As a triathlete, he will be among 40 youngsters selected by the British Olympic Association to compete across 16 sports at the event between August 14 and 26.
Andrew said, “I’m really happy to have been selected for the Youth Olympics.
“It was a definite aim of mine for this year and I can’t wait to experience the atmosphere of such a big event.”
The youngster, a member of East Fife Triathlon Club, has set his sights on competing in the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.
He said, “2016 feels like it’s a long way off, but I think this will be a great springboard for me, especially with the 2014 Commonwealth Games set to take place just half-an-hour from where I’m going to university in Stirling.”
